Authority and anointing in a believer's life are the fruit of purity and authenticity before God ... none of which can be bought, manufactured, or faked. Psalm 105:4 exhorts us to "Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!" ... an encouragement to live in emotional proximity to God.
